Portrait
A portrait you can almost hear.
A woman strums a guitar and laughs in this lively portrait. She wears a red head covering, a red shawl, large gold hoop earrings and several necklaces.
Her shawl makes a broad sweep of red around the figure, with a white blouse and a green skirt beneath it. The guitar crosses the lower part of the picture, its warm brown and gold tones matching her jewellery, and a plain grey-green background keeps the outline of her hair and shoulders clear.
There is plenty of small detail to enjoy: the guitar strings, the bracelets on her wrist, the beads of her necklaces, the folds of the blouse. The full-size photograph lets you follow them stitch by stitch. In the source catalogue this tapestry was titled ‘The gypsy’.
Sewn with 100% DMC threads and photographed in a dark frame with gold-coloured edges, it is one of the most cheerful pieces in the collection. It would bring warmth, and a little music, to a living room or dining room.
Rosi stitched it by hand, so this lively portrait is a one-off.

Rosi’s love for tapestry has grown with every piece she has made. She stitches them all by hand and gives each picture the time it needs.
